X^(2)+16x+28=0 complete the square

(x + 8)² = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are trying to complete the square and the equation already has a constant, you add or subtract that value to the other side of the equation so you can cancel it out.

x² + 16x + 28 = 0

x² + 16x + 28 - 28 = 0 -28

x² + 16x = -28

Now, you find ()² (divide b by 2 and raise the quotient to the second power). Half of 16 is 8, and 8² is 64. Add 64 to both sides.

x² + 16x + 64 = -28 + 64

x² + 16x + 64 = 36

Now, you just factor the equation on the left. To factor it, you will always use the number you got to make the constant, which in this case is 8.

(x + 8)² = 36

answer

explanation

the area of a circle is calculated using the formula

or

we can use any of the above formulae to calculate the required. preferably, let us use the latter since the diameter is

we substitute the diameter into the formula to get:

this is the exact value for the area of the circle.

the correct answer is a

3

step-by-step explanation:

divide 13.5 by 9 to get the scale factor. it equals 1.5

2 * 1.5 = 3
